Cord blood stem cells aim to restore movement in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT07197606
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether stem cells from umbilical cords can help people recover movement after a stroke. About 86 adults who had a stroke 2 weeks to 3 months ago will receive either the stem cells or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the treatment improves motor function and daily independence.
